Richard,
I've posted on this thread just a a few times, and had been holding APM since June, with a total of 500 shares averaged at about $29.5--until yesterday that is. Regrettably (today), it was I who sold you half of those 1,000 shares yesterday at 29 1/8, and lost $70 when I was previously up $4K.
I had always felt APM was going to be a big home run for me since I bought it, but I guess the frustration just got to me yesterday after APM followed WD down that I put a stop loss in with the broker. Oh well, it was my second big mistake this year, as I had also bought Quantum at 20 and sold at 27.5, and then the next five days it went up $7.00. I am only a part time investor, and have had a few successes this year. I read SI religiously, and have really learned a lot from people like AT, Epics, John Carney, and yourself. At this moment, now that I am APM-less, I feel pretty sad indeed, and even though I wasn't part of the inner circle of you experts, I actually miss being a part of it in Spirit. Of all of the threads I read, the APM threads are the best!
Just curious, in your opinion should I put my shame aside and dive back in today? Part of me wants to climb back in and ride a positive earnings announcement to $40 or more.
THANK YOU to you, and all the other APM regulars for all of the great posts. Thanks to this thread, I found my way into PairGain, Creative Technology, and even Westell, which are all above what I paid for them.
Best of luck with those 500 shares of mine, I hope you make a killing with them.
Regards,
JMaz |
